BLIZZARD BAGS!

In the event that we have a Blizzard Bag Day this week. Please remember to bring in the materials the following day in order to get credit. Remember that if we do not have 80% participation, the day does not count and we have to make the day up again. We have shared the BB files with students through their Google Docs, and will be available for any questions all day. Don't forget, there are online options for the students too, and these replace the hard copies, YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO BOTH!
